Problems solved by technology

In general, it would become inconvenient for a user if the portable electronic device has to be supported as above mentioned for a continually long period of time during enjoying the audio / video file playing, operating the video recording function or operating other functions.
Furthermore, since the things enable to support the portable electronic device are not widely available, the users have to hold the portable electronic device as long as they are watching the audio / video file playing or operating other functions.
Thus, it is easy to make users to feel uncomfortable to hold the portable electronic device for such a continually long period of time and it is inconvenient in the use of the portable electronic device in this way.

Abstract

A portable electronic device capable of signal or power transmission and standing on a surface in a vertical or near-vertical orientation at the same time is provided in the present invention. The portable electronic device includes a flat body having a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a through hole passing through the flat body, and the through hole extending from the front surface to the rear surface. Herein the through hole is adapted to couple with an external docking element for signal or power transmission. Thus, the portable electronic device is capable of signal or power transmission and standing on the supporting surface at the same time via the external docking element coupling with the through hole.
